maggie & milly & molly & may

maggie and milly and molly and may

went down to the beach to play one day

and maggie discovered a shell that sang so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles

and milly befriended a stranded star whose rays five languid fingers were

and molly was chased by a horrible thing which raced sideways while blowing bubbles

and may came home with a smooth round stone as small as a world ans as large as alone.

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)

it's always ourselves we find at the sea.
